My Crazy Life

One of these days I'll chase you down

So I decided to be an attention whore this year and had a birthday week, instead of just day. It kind of had to go that way though because of everyone's schedules.On Monday, Myrtis and I went to BJ's for dinner and drinks. I treated myself to a new outfit for the occasion which I will recycle for the Chinese New Year party at work. The food wasn't that great though, but since she and I both work 60+ hours a week, it was nice that we finally got to spend some time together.On Wednesday, I knew I wouldn't have time to get any work done before lunch, so I got in early, but I still didn't get much done. They all brought food and Debbie made me a cheesecake. Of course when your area has food, everyone comes and chats for like 20 minutes. Then it was time for me to get to training, and right after, I had a project status meeting. When I got back to my desk, John had sent me a birthday message, which made me smile. Then it was time for the luncheon that we have once a month to celebrate the month's new hires, anniversaries and birthdays. Everyone joked that the luncheon was thrown in my honor. Hans let me leave a little early so I could get ready for the Foo Fighters concert. Greg and I went to dinner at On the Border, where I had a huge margarita of course then picked up Sommer. We were running late but it was okay because there were 2 opening acts. Brenda and her cousin were already there when we got there and she was drunk while he was hammered. She bought me a margarita and her cousin, who was about to turn 21 and Foo Fighters are his favorite band, was trying to hit on Sommer. He asked me like 3 times how I knew Brenda and he air drummed through every song. He also kept saying "Foo Fighters- fuck yeah!" Also, some people in front of us got kicked out for smoking pot. As for the show itself, it was really good and we all had fun. On Thursday, Debbie and Hans took me to birthday lunch and Sommer and I told everyone about her new "boyfriend." I'm one of those who like work functions so I'm excited for the Chinese New Year party coming up. Greg is getting a part time job so hopefully our financial stuff is getting somewhere.
